We’ve been a little radio silent at Loxone US over the last couple of weeks, but we’ve certainly not been standing still. A year ago we started the journey of finding a new space where we can grow even further. With our quickly expanding team and US operations, it was time to move. Today we are working in our new 9,000 sq ft. office and show space entirely outfitted to our needs – custom furniture, the latest office technology, and – of course – a full Loxone system with tons of Smart Home features.

Our new homebase is one of the most exciting workplaces in the tri-state area located in Garnet Valley, PA. Our new Show Apartment will redefine what a professionally installed Real Smart Home can deliver to partners and homeowners alike. We are beyond excited to share a first sneak peek and we’re almost there. The carpentry was just completed and we are going to be finishing the final stages over the next weeks.

Upcoming Training Course

To all Integrators & Electrical Contractors: We are hosting our first training course at the new location next week from November 13th to 15th. Come and join us as we reinvent the professionally installed Smart Home.

Integrated motion sensor – a must-have in every room

A motion sensor is integral for Real Smart Home features to truly benefit the occupants. With the use of the Loxone Ceiling Light, there is no need for a separate motion sensor as it is already integrated into the luminaire…enabling many more smart home features with it.

Lighting

No more fumbling around in the dark. In the Real Smart Home, the motion sensors play an important part in automating the lighting. As soon as you enter a room it measures the light levels, and if necessary the appropriate lighting mood for that time of day or night will turn on. The integrated motion sensor offers this intelligent control for every other Loxone lighting element in the room.

Burglar Alarm

Protection for you and your family. The built-in motion sensor can detect potential intruders. If an unwanted guest is detected your smart home will take action by flashing the lights and playing loud audio to deter the intruder. Of course, if this happens and you aren’t home then you will get a notification on your phone.

Multiroom Audio

Hearing your favorite song is a great way to start your day. When you enter your bathroom in the morning your favorite radio station or playlist can begin to play.

Much more

Designed for a Real Smart Home, there are many more features waiting to be discovered. Think of a Smart Night Light – in the case of you having to get up in the middle of the night, soft, dimmed light can guide your way to the kitchen for that midnight snack.

Loxone Automotive Care

Everyone has their hobbies, something you truly connect with and pour all of yourself into it. Your time, your energy, sometimes your money, anything to keep your passion alive and well looked after. Yes, indeed everyone has hobbies, some just go a bit bigger than others. Jerry Coleson is one such individual with an impressive collection of over a dozen cars, both classic and modern, and all in pristine condition.

The Colesons reside on a gorgeous property complete with a magnificent, Loxone infused two-story garage. Inside, the Loxone indoor temperature and humidity sensors are programed to set the heating and air conditioning to the perfect levels needed to sustain this car friendly environment year round. Even on the most brutal of Texan days everything under the roof is well protected.

A collection like this deserves to be displayed proudly with the Loxone lighting system;illuminating every inch of the “display floor” with energy efficient LED light fixtures that activate via a Loxone motion sensor and/or touch pad. But the Loxone touch pad does not limit itself to lighting controls. The same touch also controls a high quality music system and serves as the main conduit for the garage door functions.

Sometimes, when you have the vision, a simple garage can be so much more.

Jerry saw fit to add a poker room and lounge that sits atop his collection. A radiant second floor room with a lovely view of the cars below. Also outfitted with the Loxone solution, this extra space is mainly used for entertainment. The lighting and music systems controlled by another Loxone touch pad provide a grade-A atmosphere for hosted evenings. But during the times when this room is vacant, the Loxone miniserver knows this and shuts the entire room down to conserve energy without compromising the rest of the garage and the more regularly used rooms.

With a collection so precious (and expensive) security is most important. That’s why each door and window is equipped with a Loxone door and window sensor to provide quick alerts if and whenever needed. Through the Loxone miniserver, if a door or window is ever opened inappropriately not only does an alert activate but the miniserver communicates exactly which door or window it was to ensure timely and accurate responses.

From just an idea to where we are a decade later – it has been an impressive journey… Today we proudly look at what we’re able to deliver with the release of the 10th installment of our suite of smart home software.

Here are some of the highlights that Version 10 brings to your Real Smart Home:

Intuitive control at your fingertips:
The new era of smart room climate control

More comfortable.

Your smart home will now take care of even more tasks in the interest of delivering the ideal room climate.

From now on, you no longer have to manually switch between a heating and cooling season – your smart home will now automatically determine whether it needs to heat or cool and which source it should use to do so. Your home now works dynamically with the various integrated heating and cooling sources, including making use of the automatic shading and compatible ventilation systems. This intelligent level of smart room climate control takes care of several tasks for you so that you have time for the more important things in life.

More energy-efficient

With Version 10, your home will be even more energy-efficient, helping to reduce energy usage and running costs. To do this, your home will automatically determine which heating or cooling source is the cheapest to use to both reach and maintain the desired temperature in each room.

Example 1:
Early November, the outside temperature is 55°F and the sun is shining.

To avoid having to rely on heating alone, the Loxone Smart Home knows when it will be more energy-efficient to warm up a room with the help of mother nature. To prevent rooms from overheating, your home will recognise the right time to lower the blinds later in the day.

Example 2:
At night the temperatures in the bedrooms rise but the temperature outside is cooler.

Instead of the home calling for air conditioning to be turned on, the ventilation system kicks in; using the cool outside air to lower the temperature in the bedrooms.

More intuitive operation

The interface for adjusting the room climate is now more streamlined; maximising control but simplifying the process to save you time.

The new ‘Climate Controller’ gives you an overview of the temperature and ventilation (if configured) in each room of your home. You can also see at a glance which room is at the desired comfort temperature or whether it is being heated or cooled to reach this.

Simply schedule what times you want a room to be at a comfortable temperature and let your home take care of the rest. When creating a schedule, you can choose between:

IN USE: The selected ‘Comfort’ temperature will be maintained.

NOT IN USE: The room will be in ‘Economy’ mode with minimum use of the heating or cooling sources.

OFF: The heating is switched off to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Fabric Protection is still maintained at this time.

You can also make momentary adjustments to the temperature. A simple tap on the + or – will adjust the temperature in that room for that period.

Also new: You can now define a Tolerance for your room climate. This is a permitted deviation from the actual and target temperatures before the heating or cooling kicks in. The higher the tolerance, the more economical.

System Status:
The ultimate smart home health check.

Similar to the lights on the dashboard of your car, the System Status feature displays useful information about your smart home – all within the Loxone Smart Home App.

Ranging from general information to crucial messages, the levels of these status messages will be represented by different colours in the Loxone Smart Home App and using the LED lights on your Miniserver. As part of the System Status message, you’ll receive information about a possible solution.

Examples of System Status messages could include:

System Reboot (following the successful update of the OS on your Miniserver)

Device Offline (if a device is no longer detectable. For example, the batteries are flat)

Frost or Overheat Protection temperatures have been exceeded

For information purposes

A timely warning

An important or crucial message

Smart Home App:
Faster, Simpler, Better

With the Loxone Smart Home App you and thousands of smart home owners around the world hold your entire home in the palm of your hand. It’s important, therefore, that we continually optimise the app to deliver a streamlined user experience coupled with exceptional performance. With Version 10, you can expect improvements and new features galore!

Here are a few of the V10 highlights for Partners:

Refreshingly new. Refreshingly different!

Room climate control in a Real Smart Home.

With all-new Function Blocks in Config, you can breathe new life into a customer’s Real Smart Home. Version 10 of Config perfectly combines the heating, cooling and ventilation with just a few clicks. You can offer your customers exceptional energy-efficiency by configuring their smart home to automatically control the climate in each room. Let’s take a closer look at the new Function Blocks:

Intelligent Room Controller

The new version of the Intelligent Room Controller supports the automatic switch between heating and cooling. You can select the associated heating and cooling sources within Config with a double-click on the relevant Intelligent Room Controller.

Here, you can add different heating or cooling sources and even define their individual priority levels.

Intuitive interaction with the new room climate interface.

The user-friendly app also boasts a new look to match the new Intelligent Room Controller. Your customers can now get a better view of their indoor climate in a single glance.

Nothing goes completely to plan. So, if your customer finds themselves wanting to heat a room outside of the normal schedule or that they won’t be at home for a specific evening, then they can simply select an override. This intuitive view gives your customer the option to select how long to deviate from the schedule and what action the home should take.

Your customer can now also conveniently define the desired temperature for each room – both for when the room is in use and not in use. In addition, Real Smart Home owners can also define a tolerance. This is how much the room temperature is allowed to deviate from the desired temperature before either the heating or cooling kicks in. A tolerance of +/- 0.5 and +/- 37°F can be selected using a convenient slider.*

Another great highlight of the new Intelligent Room Controller is that the desired temperature in Comfort mode can be momentarily adjusted. This is done intuitively via the app with + and – symbols, without affecting what has previously been set as the comfort temperature for that room.

*The tolerance indicates how much the room temperature is permitted to deviate from the comfort temperature before heating or cooling is enabled. The higher the tolerance, the more economical.

Climate Controller

A new Function Block called the ‘Climate Controller’ decides – depending on the information from the individual Intelligent Room Controllers – whether heating, cooling or neither is required in a room to reach the desired temperature.

If several heating and/or cooling sources are planned for a specific Real Smart Home, then you’d include a Climate Controller Function Block for each one. As a Loxone Partner, in the properties of a Climate Controller, you can define the priorities of the respective sources and indicate whether the energy cost for each is cheap or expensive. An expensive energy source will then only be called upon if a higher priority, cheaper source is not available.

You’re likely already familiar with our Overview blocks introduced with V9… With V10, the new Climate Controller can provide a similar overview for your heating and cooling.

This view in the app will show, at a glance, which rooms are being heated or cooled, and the current state of the relevant source.

Liaise with the heating engineer well in advance of the installation to table the technical requirements needed to integrate with the heating system. We offer a variety of Extensions to accommodate different technologies. You can find out more information about the technical implementation of smart room climate control in our Partner Blog series.

Room Ventilation Controller

The new Room Ventilation Controller brings localised control of ventilation systems, such as Leaf 1 and other internal ventilation systems, based on presence. The quality of air in a room can be just as important as the temperature, and so – with V10 having a strong focus on Room Climate Control – a ventilation system can be used as a supplementary heating or cooling source in the Intelligent Room Controller.

Intuitive control of the room air quality

From Version 10, the control of the air quality has a new home in the Loxone App.

This goes hand-in-hand with the new intelligent way that ventilation sources are set up in Config. Ventilation sources such as Leaf 1 and Internorm, as well as other MVHR and fan systems, can be integrated through different interfaces into one neat view.

Your customers can see, at a glance, what the ventilation in a room is doing. In addition to the fan speed, the relative humidity and CO2 levels are also displayed, if the relevant sensors have been installed.

Your customer can define the respective fan speed for when the room is in use or not in use, according to the heating schedule. If a boost is required, for example to help cool the room or reduce the humidity or CO2 levels, then upper and lower limits can also be set that are cross-referenced when presence is detected.

Thermal Solar Controller

Also new in V10 is the Thermal Solar Controller Function Block.

This Function Block controls the solar pump and the buffer storage valve of a thermal solar system. This new Function Block means your customers can see within the Loxone App whether the buffer tank is being heated and what the current temperature is.

Timely Information. Thanks to System Status.

Another new feature in Version 10 is System Status.

Like the dashboard in your car, System Status in the Loxone App as well as in Loxone Config will display a range of general information and crucial messages pertaining to the smooth operation of the smart home. With this new, reliable early warning interface, you and your customers will be informed in good time about any system-relevant information. You can then decide if, how and when to intervene if need be.

A distinction is made between the following levels:

Information

Large difference between room & target temperature

Successful firmware update

and more…

Warning

Insecure credentials

High SD-card write load

and more…

Important Message

Blind motor obstruction

Air device offline

Air channel busy

and more…

Critical Message

Extension offline

Client-Gateway offline

and more…

Information in one place. Thanks to System Variables.

The new System Variables puts weather information in one place, saving commissioning time.

The new System Variables in Loxone Config give you more freedom and flexibility. With the help of the new System Variables, you decide which weather information is more suited for displaying to your customer. Whether that be local data recorded by the Weather Station or information supplied from the Weather Service. You can now decide which values are displayed in the visualisation.

More clarity. Thanks to Lighting Groups.

The expanding range of Loxone Lighting products is developed to deliver exceptional light quality – benefitting both you and your customer – requiring little installation effort while delivering fantastic features in a smart home.

To improve the way lighting is shown in Config, we’re introducing Lighting Groups – a convenient way to combine several lights into an addressable group that will be controlled in sync. This creates a sensical structure and all the lights in a single group will benefit from synchronous control.

Impressively efficient. New Pairing for Air and Tree devices.

During the development of this latest version of Config – apart from ensuring that we add numerous features and improvements for homeowners – we have also kept a strong focus on improvements for you, our Loxone Partners. We wanted to make sure that we streamlined some processes to save on the installation time so that you can offer a better service from the initial planning stage through to commissioning a Real Smart Home.

In this regard, pairing smart home peripherals has been thoroughly streamlined – making it a smoother and faster process. This is just one of the fundamental steps to configuring a Real Smart Home so that it can save your customers up to 50,000 tasks a year and save you time on the installation itself.

Optimal Performance. Loxone Air frequency change.

Loxone Air and Tree technology is the backbone of a Real Smart Home

The Loxone Air & Tree technologies form the foundation of Real Smart Homes. The flexibility that Loxone Air provides is exceptional, thanks to dedicated wireless technology. In order to ensure that Loxone Air technology continues to be a reliable and stable wireless smart home solution, it’s important that the chosen radio frequency does not suffer from interferences from other devices. You won’t need to fiddle around with this to determine what works best as Loxone Config V10 will now notify you when a frequency change is recommended. Then, with just a few clicks, you can switch to the optimum radio frequency. The result, the Air devices in your installations will have a more stable and reliable connection.

On-the-go know how. Offline Documentation.

We may live in the age of the Internet, but there are times where you won’t have a connection to the World Wide Web.

V10 of our Config includes an element of offline documentation. This includes an improved description of Function Blocks; including its use, parameters, inputs and outputs. On compatible Function Blocks, simply click the information icon and then ‘More information’ to open the offline documentation up in a browser.

Many more exciting innovations in Version 10 of the Loxone App.

What better way to discover all that is new than by trying it out for yourself! Then, why not schedule an appointment with your customers to update their Real Smart Home to Version 10 so that they can start enjoying the benefits that this update brings. You can find out details of the new features and improvements in the changelog.

A special thank you to all of our supporters and partners. These awards will drive us forward, pushing Loxone to create and innovate even more to continue to provide the best, most reliable smart home solution in the industry.

What is the Touch Surface?

The Touch Surface is designed to be installed behind or underneath any non-conductive surfaces in the home. Be it stone, wood, or ceramics.The Touch Surface offers the same extraordinary control as our other Loxone Touch products, but directly into the home’s hard furnishings.

Just like in the outside world, the climate in your home has a significant impact on your health and well-being. If you think about it, most of us spend half of our lives cooped up inside binge-watching Netflix, all the while paying little or no attention to the indoor climate we are living in every day. So how do we make sure we are living our best lives and staying healthy inside the confines of our homes? That’s easy; optimize room temperature, humidity levels, and monitor air quality.

With the help of our new Room Comfort Sensor, the Loxone Smart Home reliably records all essential data relating to temperature, humidity, and CO2 – ensuring optimal room climate around the clock and setting your mind at ease.

Realize the full potential of the Room Comfort Sensor by coupling it with version 10 of our software. Both available in September! Order the Room Climate Sensor today and get back to doing you.

Maintain a Routine

Humans are a creature of habit – even when it comes to our sleep. Adhering to a nightly routine will signal to your body that it’s just about bedtime, allowing the body to wind down and prepare itself.

Change out of those clothes and throw on your comfy pajamas!

Read a chapter or two of a good book. Avoid the bright phones and tablets.

Drink a cup of good-night tea or regular glass of water.

Dim the lights (this happens automatically in a Real Smart Home)

Jot down some thoughts and notes you have. Give your brain a little time to process them.

Many of us have TVs in our bedroom, but catching up on an episode or two of Game of Thrones certainly doesn’t help as part of a bedtime routine. Your body needs to be able to identify your bedroom as a place of relaxation and sleep.

Pay attention to what and when you eat

A healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet go hand-in-hand for a healthy night’s sleep. A balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables is key.

It’s not only about what you eat, but also about when… Late meals can make it difficult to sleep and this is why some people prefer not to have dinner after 6 pm or to at least leave three hours between a big meal and going to bed. If you are going to eat before bed, then try to include foods that are easy to digest and have properties that promote sleep (the experts say you should look for foods rich in tryptophan, serotonin, and melatonin).

Get the right room climate

Another tip for a healthy night’s sleep is to have the right temperature, humidity, and air quality in the room – also known as room climate. You probably know all-too-well that if your bedroom is too hot, you’re going to struggle to sleep. On the flip side, a bedroom that is too cold isn’t conducive either. Ideally, you want to maintain a cooler temperature in the bedroom, around 60-64°F.

It’s not just about the temperature though; if it’s too humid counting sheep won’t get you anywhere. The humidity level should be between 40% and 60% in the bedroom. Last, but not least, the ideal room climate also calls for fresh air for a restful night’s sleep. That said, I don’t expect you to rush out and get yourself a his-and-hers thermometer or hygrometer for the bedroom just to check if the climate is right for bedtime.

A Loxone Smart Home takes care of this for you. It makes sure the room is at the perfect temperature, ideal humidity level, and that there is fresh air – all without you needing to do a thing.

Lay down a good foundation

We mean literally. You wouldn’t build a house on a shoddy foundation so why sleep on one? Another important element of a healthy night’s sleep is an optimum mattress. Too hard, too soft, too old…and you’re just asking for back problems, muscle tension, even sleepless nights. Put some decent thought into the mattress you buy. Understand what the ideal mattress would be for you and invest in your quality of sleep.

Keep active, at the right times

There’s no denying that the sporty amongst us generally have healthier bodies – but, on average, they also sleep deeper and better. That said, we’re not saying pop out for your Boston Marathon training before bedtime. It is also important to know when to be active and when to unwind. A walk at a comfortable pace in the late evening could be a welcomed habit in your quest for a better night’s sleep.
